2. Summary
- Capacity gaps exist among government, the private sector, and other stakeholders, and identifying these gaps and providing capacity building to fill these gaps is essential. Systematic and effective supports are necessary since implementing Article 6 is complex and difficult with a wide range of considerations, including interagency coordination, strategic capacity building, and ensuring of environmental integrity.
- There is a gap in capacity building supports between its providers and recipients by regions and sectors. In order to address the capacity-building needs, collaboration among organizations, countries, and regional alliances is important to ensure that the supports are delivered efficiently while avoiding duplication and competition.
- Utilizing knowledges of countries and organizations working on rulemaking for the Article 6 implementation is important for conducting capacity building effectively and efficiently. Information should be shared among a wide range of stakeholders. Due to the fact that institutional arrangement and rulemaking of the Article 6 implementation can be advanced in accordance with situation of each country, the “Article 6 Implementation Partnership” that can be used for knowledge and capacity building will be useful.
